Statement from the VP of DEI: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Ruling

2023-06-29T16:05:47-07:00

Dear Fielding Community,  This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court released a decision to prohibit the use of race as a factor in college admissions.

Media Psychology Program Director Brian Cutler Contributes to The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law

2023-05-09T10:00:46-07:00

Psychology-law is a very diverse field that covers a wide range of topics from both experimental psychology and applied psychology. These broad areas are in turn made up of many subspecialties.
